A Gem Bonanza.

From the Orlando (FIa) Reporter.
Mr. s. A. Robinson returned a few days
ago from a two months sojourn in the Adj
rondack region of New York. 1t was
known to many of our citizens that Mr.
Robinson was spending some time there, but
as that is well known resort for pleasure
seekers, and busy men who seek recreation,
no one thought for a moment that our
townsman was doing more than taking q
rest He was in the Adirodacks last sea-
son. But it seems there was method in his
pleasure seeking, both then and now.
Mr.. Robinson, who is quite a geologist,
last season discovered in remote region OF
the Adirondacks, something which he be-
lieved to be valuable. He obtained speci-
mems which were carefully analysed and
proven to be brown tourmaline. His next
step was to associate himself with one of the
best biologists in the North, and together
they secured the ground upon which the
find was located. Then they waited for the
opening of the present season, when Mr.
Robinson went North, procured the neces-
sary outfit and the necessary assistance,
and proceeded to develop his find. He
quietly, but aSsiduously labored for two
months, blasting out and removing hun
dreds of tons of rock, and obtaining many
specimens of the stone.
Tourmaline is found, thus far, in but two
portions of the world. 1t varies in color,
sometimes being red, sometimes green, and
black, and rarer, still, brown. 1t is valued
by jewellers as gem stone, for the reason
that it possesses two rare qualities. 1t has
the power of polarizing light, and for this
reason cannot be initiated. And when
heated it develops polar electricity.
OF the specimens taken out of the vein by
Mr.. Robinson, he has had several cut, and,
while not as brilliant as diamond or an
amethyst, they possess a subdued richness,
which should make them great favorites
with those who prefer solid value to gaudy
display.
These specimens will be the first of the
brown tourmaline offered to jewelers., and
for this reason the discovery of Mr. Robin
son is one of peculiar scientific interest.
Their value as gem stones is to be tested by
experts and their report will be looked for
with much interest. Mr.. Robinson believes
the discovery will prove a fortune, and
those'who know him will certainly rejoice
with hin" if these hopes are realized
Whether valuable or not, a prettier stone
would be hard to find

Our farmers are busily engaged putting

Business with our merchants has been

Mexico and other points depending on
this ONT for their supplies. Our mechan-
les are having plenty of work, and the
general tone of all classes of business
has greatly improved in the last twenty
days.
The only drawbackto our prosperity is
the withholding of the watered lands

He was thought to be dead but revived
